No Laughing

This picture was taken at the end of training in Mauritania, 2007. I was leaving for my site after a round of tea and decided to kill time by teaching my host sister how to play a game I played as a child known as the "silly face, no laughing" game. Through broken Hassaniya, I think she understood what I was doing... or she thought I was definitely insane. My host brother snapped this shot just seconds before I lost.
